Protecto is the data security platform for Agentic AI. We enable autonomous systems to act safely across sensitive enterprise data in real-time. As AI agents automate workflows across data sources, MCPs, tool calls, and multi-agent orchestration, they expose confidential information at scale. Traditional security tools block data outright, killing AI utility. Worse, they only detect PII—missing business confidential data, IP, salaries, discounts, and strategic information. We identify semantically. Our context-aware detection understands whats sensitive beyond standard compliance entities—catching business confidential data, intellectual property, compliance-sensitive information (PII, PHI, PCI), and custom organizational risks. We mask intelligently with format-preserving tokenization that preserves AI reasoning. We enforce zero-trust policies in real-time across prompts, RAG, tool calling, and agent workflows—without adding latency. Enterprise-Ready: Deep integrations with Active Directory and IAM systems. Policy-driven access control. On-premises and cloud deployment. GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and data residency compliance. Audit-ready logging. Asynchronous processing scales to billions of records. Used by Fortune 100 companies. PoC to production: weeks, not months.
